** The ObstructiveBureacrat nature of the aliens is completely PlayedForDrama. They coldly turn away from mothers begging to spare their children because the president filled out their paperwork in English instead of BlackSpeech. Meanwhile, human bodies are horrifically twisted as they build their freeway out of our own flesh.

** A standard RealityWarper EldritchAbomination [[HumansAreSpecial reveres humans as incredible beings]] because of how feeble, yet successful they are at manipulating their own world to suit their needs.
** The universe isn't apathetic, it's excessively micromanaging. Every structure from an atom to a planet and every creature from an ant to a deity is considered an equivalent cog in the machine that pulls its own irreplaceable weight, and if ''anything'' falls out of line from their natural role in the cosmos then ''everything'' goes into chaos. Humanity, as it turns out, slipped through a crack in the system that prevents disruption of order long ago and [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt is on track to doing this]].
** The horror isn't that humans are massively eclipsed by more powerful beings ''or'' that humans are actually important, but that there just ''[[NothingIsScarier are no]]'' [[NothingIsScarier beings greater than us]]. The most we ever find are aliens roughly equivalent in advancement to monkeys. Subconsciously or otherwise, humans can't accept that they're the most significant life in the universe; that's why the CosmicHorrorStory ''exists''. When there are beings powerful enough to toy with humanity like bugs, there's at least comfort in knowing our place. The fact that there simply are none leaves us feeling empty and lost at best and ''even more'' dreadful at worst.

** Humanity discovers an EldritchLocation in the far reaches of space that ''does'' disobey all of the known scientific systems and rules, but instead of deciding that it's impossible to comprehend and all logic is futile, they treat it as just showing they still have much more to learn about the universe. With extensive research on the region, they make dozens of new breakthroughs and modify their understanding of the universal laws until the previously incomprehensible existence is no harder to understand than a black hole, and humanity benefits with many technological advancements as a result of these breakthroughs that allow them to protect themselves if any eldritch forces ever make their way to Earth.
